It's just the inverse of a flotilla - flotilla is two ships on one small base, huge ship is 1 ship on 2 large bases. Makes a nice bookend. I'm gonna stand by "Huge is a large for purpose of upgrades" until proven otherwise cause I want to live in a fantasy world where Motti works on him.

I was taking about the photograph of it at GenCon, not the article notes.

Huge Ship (so no Motti)

3 attacks per turn.

Facts not in evidence. We don't know how Motti interacts with this yet.

There are a lot of cards that reference large ships, such as Ordinance Pods and Reinfoced Bulkheads. They can always make a rule change in their update that "anything that applies to large ships also applies to huge ships" and the like, or errata Motti.

We know they will have to make some changes for huge ships such as deployment - ie I expect deployment to be allowed as long as the base is touching the player edge for huge ships (ala X-Wing Epic).

It is 33.

33 is for the epic version.

Wait....so it won't work with Konnie?

Conjecture of an added rule yourself.

I was talking about face value. Which with lack of any further conjecture IS observable evidence.

It can turn. Jerry, nav dial or token with nav liaison.

In X-wing Epic, huge ships can deploy if a side of the base is aligned on the player's edge. I would expect the same impact here.

Lookinf for its rear zone after engaging it:

Like I said - I’m not always right.

but I’d challenge anyone to meet my “eat a tie fighter” conviction in counter to me

I do NOT think there will be a rule that lets Huge ships use Large upgrades. This has been in development for a long time, it is SWM20, and so they had the opportunity to phrase those cards differently but opted not to.

We know that rules are changing. We don't know that Motti doesn't interact with Executor. You are drawing a conclusion based on knowledge you know to be incomplete.

You stated "no Motti" as fact, which it most certainly is not (at least not until the new rules are out.) That isn't face value. That's a blind man touching the tail of an elephant (observable evidence, but incomplete) and concluding it's some sort of snake.

On face value - no Motti.

Without further information , no Motti.

No Motti until I am proven incorrect.

No motti.

NO MOTTI.

Buy one to knock her out with then buy the rest

imagine ssd vs ssd matches

@Crabbok do you think they’ give you a free one early?

I vote we call SSD v SSD matches a Salmon fight.

How about going all-in on big ol' fatties with an SSD/ISD combo?

399/400

SSD-Command Prototype (220) + Jerjerrod (23) + Intensify Firepower! (6) + Quad Battery Turrets (5) + Leading Shots (4) + Boarding Troopers (3) + Captain Brunson (5) + Hondo (2)

ISD-Kuat (112) + Strategic Adviser (4) + Assault Combat Missiles (7) + Ordnance Experts (4) + Leading Shots (4)

Advanced Gunnery (or Station Assault)/Contested Outpost/Solar Corona

This gives you four activations and an obscene amount of firepower and hull. Switch up the upgrades to taste (Tua or Kallus might be good options).

No Motti no Motti no Motti stop! (Hits buzzer). Aww, Konstantine!

I see Captain Brunson has become stapled to the ship card. :D

Is this your motto? ;)

I think it is more likely that they errata Motti explicitly than they make a blanket ruling that Huge ships are treated as Large.

Not really - ships are defined by their base sizes.

Flotilla works as it’s a subset of a size. Indeed, it is possible to have small, medium and even large Flotillas...,

Huge IS a new size, as it literally is a new base size.

You have no idea what the new rules are going to say about Huge bases vs Large upgrades or things that refer to large ships. As does everyone who hasn't seen the updated rules.

Big question we need to ask, how do you deploy this? It can't turn, so how do you actually use this in a game where you can get a shot at getting objectives and shoot other ships using a majority, if not all it's dice pool?

I have a friend at Gen con who said

"I asked The creator about deployement: it works like epic in X Wing. Deploy outside deployment zone is fine so long as the base is in contact with rear egde. Hello red dice on round 1!"

Indeed.

The difference is, IN LIGHT OF THAT FACT,

i am assuming Nothing added.

Occams Razor.
